Marinacci Dolcetto D'Alba 2021

Hidden away in the little known Barbaresco village of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, just outside Alba, is the single plot of 4 hectares (of Nebbiolo, Barbera & Dolcetto) farmed by Manuel Marinacci. This two man operation produces three wines: Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba and Barbaresco.

His Dolcetto is fermented in stainless steel and then bottled. These are Manuel’s oldest vines planted in 1968.

Tasting Notes

Fresh, lovely violet perfumed nose, succulent juicy blueberry. The nose is broad, inviting, with lush blueberry, pepper poise, stuffing, vibrant old vine fruit, with scented violet freshness too…not clarified nor filtered, Manuel’s left all the goodness in the wine.

Food Pairing

Dolcetto is Italy's lunch wine. It is light tannins which makes it especially well suited for salumi, pastas with mushrooms or meat sauces and pizzas. You can also try it with burgers, ribs and roast chicken!
